400/800m runner characteristics
• FAST & ATHLETIC
– 4 x 4 fast, but not 4 x 1 fast?
– Excel in speed endurance workouts with sprinters; especially at
the end of longer reps or sessions
• May not enjoy:
– Distance runs
– Longer reps, such as 1ks or mile reps
– Jog-recoveries, which is the common practice of distance
runners.
• May not understand:
– Pace/effort control well
Aerobic/Anaerobic Contributions
• 400m
– Male- 41% aerobic; 59% anaerobic
– Female- 45% aerobic; 55% anaerobic
• 800m
– Male- 60% aerobic; 40% anaerobic
– Female- 70% aerobic; 30% anaerobic
• Univ. of Western Australia, 2005.

Critical Velocity
• ~91% of VO2 Max velocity, which is
approximately 16-20 seconds / 400m slower
than 800m pace.
• Trains type IIA (fast oxidative) fibers to
improve endurance, which is required for
faster running
• Employs the mechanics of faster distance running
• Metabolic benefits of CV:
• Pace that best improves both MVO2 & lactate clearance
without being too “harsh.”
Calculating CV and other paces
• Time trial that lasts about 7 minutes
– 1600m to 2400m distances will work well,
depending upon the fitness of your athletes.
– http://www.runningprs.com/calculator.html
• To predict CV, 5k, 3k, 1600 and other paces
• CV Rule of Thumb: Run 12-14 seconds per
200m slower than 400m pace.

Critical Velocity Parameters

Repetition distances should be 1 minute to 4 minutes in duration.
Use walking recoveries at first, but move to jogging recoveries later.
Recoveries should be ~25-30% of the rep-duration.
Start with a volume of 1600m (excluding recoveries) and move up to
4800m of volume over 9 weeks. (Add one 400m per week.)
Start with shorter reps, so that 400/800m runners mentally accept the
method!
Once peak workout volume is reached, lengthen the repetition distances.
Example progression: Week #1: Run 4 x 400m (Add 1 rep per week.) After
9 weeks, the new volume is 12 x 400m. Then, move to a mix of 400m and
600m reps. After a few weeks ,do a mix of 600m and 800m reps. After a
few more weeks, do a mix of 800m and 1000m reps.
Athletes should not look as if they are straining, while running!
– “Just because you CAN go faster, doesn’t mean you SHOULD go faster” (train
don’t strain)
DYNAMIC RUNS
• Structured Fartlek; on a field with a whistle
– 2m:30s:10s (x5= 13:20)
– 3m:1m:10s (x4 = 16:40)
• Change in speed = change in technique
• Note the distance travelled per session
Verheul Method
• Aerobic Development through moderate reps
with ample recovery.
• (6)12-15x200 @3k pace w/ 200m jog
• 3-3.75 miles
• (4)8-10x400 @5k pace w/ 400m jog
• 4-5 miles
TRACK TEMPOS
• 15 min; 5k time +1:30; find pace per 400
• (20 min; add 2 sec. per 400 from 20 min.)
– Pace stronger than regular run, not race pace
– Teach even splits and effort modulation
– I can observe their work and their fatigue
– Translates directly into stronger EZ runs
– “Enlightening” to the 800m runner
“Sprint Tempo” Training Guidelines
Category
Extensive Tempo
Rest
30 to 90 seconds
70%-80% of 200/400 pace
Session Volume
1200-3000m
Ex. 10 x 150 @ 75% of 200m pace, w/ 50m walk in 1 minute
Category
Intensive Tempo
Rest
2-5 min.
Session Volume
800-2000m
80%-90% of 200/400 pace
Ex. 3-4 x 300 @ 85% of 400m goal pace w/ 4 min rest
Tempo Sessions prescribed w/ pace per 100 meter for effort distribution/pace
awareness. We want “Mature and intelligent training efforts.”

3 Tier Mixed-Rep Workouts
• CV pace, then pace A, and then pace B
• Ex. “800m theme” for an 400/800m runner
– 3 x 800 @ CV w/ 200m jog
– 3 x 300m @ 800m pace w/ 300m jog
– 3 x 150 @ 400m pace w/200m jog, 50m walk
• Session total = 6000m (3.75miles) of running
and jogging not including warm up and cool
down
800 meter specific workouts
• 6 x 300 w/ 2’ rest @ 800 pace
• 2 x 5 x 200 w/ 90 sec & 5 min rest @ 800 pace
and faster (cut down)
• 500 w/ 4’, 400 w/ 3’, 300 w/ 2’, 200 w/ 1’, 100
@ 800 p
400m specific workouts
• 4 x 300m at 83->93% of 400m speed w/ 4’ rest
• Focus on even distribution of speed, but increase
the effort smoothly and gradually.
– Example workout (following a solid warm-up) for an
athlete who recently ran 400m in 56 seconds, which is
42 seconds per 300m pace. Run 4 x 300m in 83%
(42/.83 = 50.6 seconds). Example of a late-season
workout: 4 x 300m at 93% (42/.93 = 45.2 seconds).
Walk-Jog 4-minutes between reps.
• Critical Zone:
– 3 x 160 w/ 30 sec rest; 10m flying start
• Add 160+160+80 for 400m time

“Blender” Workout
• 5 x 30m from standing start w/ 90 sec rest
– simulates start position & start
– Works acceleration, top speed, GSSE
• 5 x 150 w/ 90 sec rest. 1st 100@ 800p, last 50
faster
– Engrains race pace
– Works “changing gears”
• 8 min rest; then 1 x 300 MAX
– Mentally simulates finish
– Trains special endurance
– Improvements here show overall “fitness” gains
Jump Run Circuits
•
•
•
•
10-20 seconds of jump (50-40 sec. rest)
4 x 15 sec. on/off of DRILL
1 minute run (2 minute rest); REPEAT
JUMP RUN A:
– Rocket jump/high knees
– Tuck jump/A skip
– Lunge jump/dbl. alternate fast leg
